The dogs found 269 cell phones in one year sounds to me like you need to take a close look at your staff

I love these prison shows. They help me remember a very important lesson; let it go. You don't need to prove a GD thing, just let it go.

I volunteered in prisons for nearly 20 years. These supermax prisons do not make the public safer. With no programs and no human interaction these inmates literally go insane and there. Most inmates eventually get out of prison. People don't realize this that very few people die in prison. I would rather have inmates that have gone to prisons that are run like a small city where they have opportunities to learn skills and take college classes and other programs so that when they do get out they are safer on the street and less likely to be repeat offenders.

Prisons in the US are BIG business.

Drug dogs are amazing, esp the ones who can phones. That's phenomenal

I just found this channel and I’m really liking it

These people don't know about the detention room in my high school. That place was IMPOSSIBLE to get out of.

As hard and resistant the concrete is, it cannot stand up to seawater which will eventually corrupt the cell.

No prisoner would try to clamber through Razor Wire, not a lot of weight is required to press it down, so they would throw a blanket over the Wire and put their weight on it, pressing the Wire down in order to move across it.

2 phones and a charger is CRAZY

Love your amazing graphics! The narration is top notch as well…subscribing now! 😊

11:06 "...a special type of wire, with razor sharp edges" So... razor wire?

The security at the prison is so great that they have a cell phone problem. It goes without saying who brings them in.

Yall forgot ADX Florence in Colorado

In regards to the three that escaped Alcatraz, theres evidence that they all survived and lived to old age and had a normal life. So yes, there were 3 successful escapes from a place claiming its inescapable.

They wouldn’t like it! I can’t imagine anything worse than being incarcerated

This is so well done, very interesting to see how prisons evolve!

I never looked at the Tower of London in history and detail, until this video. Thanks for sharing. I am a direct descendant of St. Nicholas Ridley who spent a few years there with Latimer before they were both burned at the stake about 1553.

The inmates had hot showers so they wouldn’t acclimate to easily to the cold bay water.

It's like living your whole life in a dirty gas station men's room.

They forgot to put lotsa sharks in the sea around Alcatraz😂

That "special" screw that you can't buy a tool for is called a "Temper resistant Torx" and it's available at Harbor Freight. It really grids my gears when people flat out lie like that, make it seem like it's some sort of proprietary technology to make themselves look good.

18:41 if there are 300 prisons around the world with the exact same design are they also closed? Is there going to be a documentary on the one that lasts the longest?

That's awesome! Great design 🎉

Haha I wonder how many of those 'cell block builders' were hardened prisoners once themselves?

Prisons always have a possible means of escape. It could be from help from a guard, a helicopter, sneaking out the front door in disguise, taking hostages, hiding inside a vehicle/trash truck, etc. The only exception in places that allow no visitors, no outside rec, and 24/7 surveillance on each prisoner at every moment, such as Colorado Super Max or Guantanamo Bay., but those rare types are the only outliers.

Yup, fine community policing, alright...Meanwhile 170 police and various L.E.O.'s armed with pistols, LONG GUNS and BODY ARMOUR vs. one small short woman with no gun and no training made them all look like cowards. She still gets threatened for talking to the media. Those officers continue to tell proven lies about their heroism on that day. She still gets threatened by those same officers for talking to the media. They say they'll have her kids taken away, have her house burned down, and her very life is in danger if she continues to talk to the press. Think about that for a moment. #Uvalde.

I'm surprised they haven't built a super prison underground like from the movie Fortress.

This is a tough joint. Stays on lockdown.

What are the worst to maximum security prisons has to be H unit at the Oklahoma State penitentiary it is built underground it also houses the death row unit

I watched someone climb through two fences topped with razor wire , they caught him and the floors they dragged him over were covered with blood.

How do prisoners charge their smuggled phones and also why aren't cellphone jammers fitted inside each wing?

There should never be a prisoner that feels safe while he or she is in prison. Never!!

The old Alcatraz prisoners seem quaint.

The real truth is that when a nation needs that kind of facilities so much, there is a underlying real problem and not the problem of escaping.

Couldn't help but smiling in the grimmest moments of the video 😈

Fiiiiahh docoo, well deserved for way more followers..you definitely will someday sometime, but you will! 🥰

Saw a movie in which vicious criminals weren't incarcerated for years, but rather were instantly aged to old people and then released, having lost decades of their lives.

They should refurbish Alcatraz with all the modern technology of today's Prisons. They should house the worst of the worst inmates here.

Not all prisoners are human. Some are monsters in human for.

This is where the boards of big pharma are going to live someday.

Okay. How did the man get out of the barbed wire?

GOOD, I like this place for the the monsters we call criminals. If they run out of space there they should build DOWN into the earth.

How about home for the majority of our, US gov’t representatives; from the bottom right up to the very top!!!

These barbed wires remind me of France I got stuck in the barbed wire a long time ago in Sangat, I tried to catch the train but I couldn't because it was moving so fast and the guards noticed me, I lost the exit hole. lucky to escape the barbed wire with little damage to the arms and legs😫

Being a prisoner must be horrible. But being a guard is a maggot sandwich too.

269 cell phones in one year? Prison guards must make a LOT of money.

Is there anyone else here who has been to Alcatraz?

I believe the problem is that investor's know big bucks in pharmacy. So they invest they shouldn't let people invest in pharmacy. Greed is not good.

BUT! they can't keep drugs out of it!

Prison napalm is more dangerous than a phone or drugs... Sugar and water heated to boiling. It becomes sticky and is so hot, it causes the akin to become so soft, it comes off with it

How about those loose cables for the tv? Possibly hang oneself?

Nice! Build 2 or 3 more in America. People are getting worse by the year!

You can buy the safety bolt head Allen wrenches at any auto parts store.

But the cell phones don't get there by the prisioners they get there by the guards hello 😅😊

melt the end of ypur tooth brush while its soft press it on to the special screws wait 30 seconds and you have a perfect screwdriver for removing them😂

❤ I ADORE ARCHITECTURE 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Henry Laurent the father of John Laurent, of the Hamilton musical was the only American imprisoned in the Tower

So the concrete was ultimately to blame for the closing of Alcatraz....great fact!

Thank you for taking the time Philadelphia USA 🇺🇲🕊️❤

I like those in the Nordic Countries and Switzerland... Tennis courts, nice parks, ping pong, media rooms, beautifully crafted, posh private suite rooms. Like a good 4-Star hotel... maybe even a little better.

Thanks,

Subbed 👍🏼

Those prisons are so cool 😎 I'm robbing a bank 🏦 to get thrown in one. 😶

0.55 The tower of London was not designed as a prison.

prison would kill me with in a month i can not stand long term confinement

The war on drugs as a big joke.

Just watched a documentary on the escape and they have proved that the two brothers actually survived the escape and successfully made it out and free!

A guy that was in a federal usp (prison) said that the bars in that prison allegedly have smaller solid loose fitting bars (or solid pipes/coduits) inside the outer hollow bar. So if u do manage to cut threw the outter bar with a saw blade, once the saw blade teeth bite into the inner bar, it will just spin back and forth with the blade and it cant be cut unless u somehow u stop it from moving.

However bad your day is going... just he happy to know that you didn't grow up to be a correctional officer. Lmao... obviously wasn't a written test involved for those featured in this video.

Big AL Capone could've escaped that prison....

being able to escape from a prison is no hallmark of insecurity.

@2:32 The daily deadly cat 😺 and mouse 🐭 game.

They really took every jail known for being hard or impossible to escape and Said ok throw it all together. Very interesting watch !

All its takes is was bad employee to show others what bolts it takes

What great design for late 1800’s -----

my favourite commentator

The best way ✌️

I remember all these cos

Money is what’s going on ! Rehabilitation joke slavery yes

Where there is a will theres a way no matter how secure the prison is

the way this mf is praising and admiring and calling these absolute animalistic inhumane prisons masterpieces don’t sit right with me

What if someone has a mental implant like a metal rod or something like that???

Artificial intelligence and robotics (no humans) will manage the prisons.

It's indeed a struggle being behind those bars.. But at least they don't have to deal with an unopened pistachio

What a waste of money and resources. It could be solved for $1 per head

I don't have a lot or a lot going on at the moment , BUT, how many human beings behind the wall you think would trade places with me in a blink or a heartbeat ?

The only way a cell phone can get into a maximum security prison and then into an offender's hands is by a CO.

The federal prison system has been privatized and is now a profit motive corporation with the introduction of mandatory sentences. I heard that housing these criminals is costing the federal government some 300 billion dollars per year which is more expensive than the Iraq war at 130 billion. So, 300 billion is nearly a billion dollars a day. We can't afford to continually provide free room and board and showers and 3 meals a day plus weight training to repeat offenders of serious crimes. I do not know what these counties and states pay but I'm a sure it is some 30,000 per year per inmate. So, we are paying 30,000 per year to feed and house criminals compared to social security payments which are 12,000 for the retired and disabled. So, these prison corporations are making huge profits at 30,000 per prisoner. We cannot afford 1.5 trillion dollars every 5 years or 3 trillion dollars per decade, all tax based just to keep dangerous repeat anti social law breakers off the street. So, we are going to have to examine this criminal justice system very closely and make hard decisions as a fiscally responsible state with much more forceful means and new laws and dispose of these multiple appeal processes. Prisons which are extra heavy facilities with reinforced doors and guard payrolls and prisoner expenses are extremely expensive compared to good standardized public housing. Good public housing is far far less expensive than prisons and would serve a much greater need. Good public housing is far less expensive. This prison system is far too expensive. LLXIIX77

Anyone can buy those security bits he was talking about. We actually had one where i was locked up for a bit and kept stuff in the light that ia held together with those so called security screws.

The toughest maximum-security prison is h unit at Oklahoma State penitentiary

Imagine concealing your cellphone too deeply on accident, and being an influencer whose phone is on vibrate.

It's funny how they left out the part about how the officer's bring in the contraband.

Flanders is in Belgium not the Netherlands! Px

I visited the Eastern State Penitentiary a few years ago. Creepy af but very cool. Unless I visit another condemned prison, that's the only time I plan to be in one 😂

28:55 no, dude. The brothers were avid swimmers not only in Florida but in Michigan and kids have swam Alcatraz Bay.

as always "seconds from disaster" offers documentary at it's best! Concerning the subject you will welcome the total lack of judgmental or sensational language! Public education at it's best!

I’m colour blind but are the hands on the wall Brown 😳

Best prison documantary I have ever watched and I watched them all.
